German New Wave.  This particular single apparently has an alternate version with an English verse, but that hasn't made the value skyrocket.  This has been sitting on the pile for years and went for an uneventful $3.99.

The song itself is pleasant and the B-side is an instrumental.  Keyboard with Annette Humpe as the A-side vocalist singing about the boredom of airports.

Pleasant I guess.
